All in one

Laptops are all the rage, but tabletop PCs have their own appeal -- namely for families that share a single machine, or in the office. To meet those needs is Lenovo, which has introduced two new tabletop PCs, the Horizon 2s and 2e. Users familiar with the previous Horizon offerings will be glad to know both new models include the same Flat and Stand modes.

All-in-One PCs: some love them while others aren't so fond. The biggest criticism is often the difficulty with updating the machine, something Lenovo has addressed with its new ThinkCentre Tiny-in-One 23, a business-centric modular AIO with a detachable small-form-factor PC.

Your widescreen monitor may not look so wide once you've seen LG's latest screen.

LG has unveiled the Chromebase, an all-in-one system sporting a 21.5-inch Full HD display and running Chrome OS. LG points towards this as being a world's first type of device, but more to the point, this should provide a solid option for someone who is looking to run Chrome OS, but wants to avoid a notebook. The LG Chromebase is available in black and a multi-color white and silver option.

Joining the ATIV Book 9 refresh announced at CES today, Samsung has rolled out the red carpet for the ATIV One7 2014 Edition all-in-one, an update to the previous model that brings, among other things, a boost in the storage capacity and a Full HD display. Among the specs boost is also a promise of improved mobile connectivity, particularly in terms of PC-Mobile convergence with Samsung's various Galaxy devices.

With Android dominating the smartphone and tablet markets, manufacturers are trying to find new territories to explore.

Among the all-in-one PCs Lenovo has debuted here at CES, the A740 stands out due to its large display size. Measuring in at 27-inches, this model is the thinnest in its class at 4mm in thickness. Design was of particular importance with the A740, with Lenovo calling it "fashion forward" with a single-piece aluminum backing that runs down into the stand portion of the unit. Beyond design and bragging rights, this AiO brings with it a variety of top-notch specifications, all of which we have detailed for you after the jump.

Lenovo has shown off an extensive collection of laptops here at CES 2014, many of which are convertible and detachable units.

The AiO will be available next month, with the Z Series rolling out in March and the Y Series arriving in May.
